A TIE GAME
Between Wheeling and Sandusky, Ysstsr-
day, that Should Have
BEEN PLAYED TO A CONCLUSION.
The Standing Of the Ohio League Clubs Up
to To-day.
INTERESTING BASE BALL MATTERS,


Wheeling and the Sanduskys was unsatls-
factory TO say the least, and 1t should not
have been so by any means. Wheeling
had the game in her hands and the San
dusky boys had virtually given 1t up,
but streak of bad playing on the part OF
the home team in the ninth allowed two OF
the visitors to cross the plate and tie the
game. Even then the Wheeling boys
could have won the game as all our heavi-
est batters came next. Sandusky knew
this, and Captain Curry was not anxious
anyway to play out the game rs it would
not alter their standing and this was the
last game played by them, so upon Cap
tain Crogan agreeing the game was called,
although it was light enough to play four
OF five innings after that, and the game
should have been played to conclusion by
all means, as Wheeling needs all she can
get.
Wheeling played nice game up to the
ninth inning, when some of the boys went
all TO pieces and threw the ball around as
if bad throw were not serious thing.
Quite good sized crowd was present to
witness the game, although the weather
was very chilly and they were compelled
at times to stamp their feet to keep them
warm. The bleaching boards which were
not bleaching boards yesterday by any
means, were we'll filled and the crowd was
enthusiastic. The game was full of fun
and everybody was in good humor until
the disaster came, then there was growl
of dissatisfaction and all wanted the game
to be played to a finish, not that they
wanted more than their moneys worth,
but they all were firmly convinced that
Wheeling could win in one more inning.
Morrison pitched a fine game for the
home team, only five hits being made of
him. He was well supported by Stentzel.
Schell and Chrisman did good battery work
for SandGsky.
Both sides blanked in the first inning,
and in the second Nicholson pounded out
3 twO-bagger, got to third and home on
two wild pitches. In their half the vlsl-
tors tied. Ryn tapped the sphere over
right field fence got third on McVay's safe
hit and home on a wild pitch.
In the third both gOOSe-egged again, as
they did in the fourth, although Wheeling
got man rs far as third and one at sec
Ond. A pretty catch was made by NichOl
in the second half of the fourth. Mulhol-
land was on second and Ryn hit what
looked precisely like u two-bagger, but
Sammy got under it and threw Mulnol-
land out at second.
In the fifth Speidel retired at first and
Morrison flied out. Crogan's hit to first
was fumbled and he got a life. Dunn's
safe hit took Crogan to second, and each
advanced a base on Chrisman's bad throw
to first. Nichols nit hot one to Curry,
who missed it, allowing Crogan and Dunn
to score. NichOl then got to third on a
wild throw and home on wild pitch.
The side then retired. For the visitors
McYey hit to short, who threw wild TO
first, allowing McNey 20 reach third He
scored on wild pitch. The side was
then retired.
The sixth and seventh reCo ded goose
eggs for both, although in the seventh
Wheeling had three or four men on bases,
and Morrison was put ont at the plate on
a close decision.
In the eighth Nicholson hit safe, White
hit two Dagger over the right field fence
and Nicholson scored on MulhOlland's bad
throw, after which the side was retired.
In the visitors half Schell retired at first,
RoutcHtfe got first on Myers error, stole
second and got home On Miller's two bag
ger over the fence. Miller got to third
but was left there.
In the ninth Wheeling gooseegged. For
the visitors Ryn hit to Myers and got first
on his error and to third on McVay's safe
hit. Curry's sacrifice took Ryn home and
several bad plays got McYay to third and
a wild pitch scored him. This ended run
getting, and there was a general clamOF
for the game to be finished, but the cap
tains OF the clubs seemed to think that 1t
was too dark, but it wasn't. Curtain
then ruug himself down and the spectators
left disguised. Following is the score In
